Default What spark plugs and wires do you run?

Doing a tune up this weekend. Still new to the jeep scene. Was wondering what plugs and wires do most people run? or do most people run the cheapie plugs?

E3s run about 6 bucks a pop right? That's not bad guess I'll go with those. And for wiring just any wire or should I go MSD?

You'll find several seasoned members here, who are in a position to know, that regular old Champion plugs are the way to go. Fancy plugs offer no real gains at best, and can actually hamper performance in a good number of cases. Spend your money on your wires, cap, rotor, and maybe your coil if your rig is pre-coil packs.

For plug wires: NAPA Premium
For plugs either old school champions, or with the coil packs Bosch Platinum.

Guess I may head down the Champion path as well. Do they have premiums or just one regular plug. Cause I always see how these parts stores have good, better, premium. Also what should u gap it at?

Replaces my plugs with the champions, wires I went with bosch. Also replaced the distributor cap, and distributor rotor. Jeep is running nice now! Before it was sputtering, glad it went away!
